        Verdict

        ZARKAVON won at Kempton before finding one too good back at the same track. But the winner has subsequently gone in again and John Wainwright’s mare gets the vote on that form. I Am Dandy finished in front of With Approval when placed over 7f here last time and his only previous win came over the latter distance while Warrior's Spirit will be sharper for last month’s first outing since 2018 and may prove best of the rest though the Irish mare Rince Deireanach is not badly treated on her best form.
